That was just from a regular 1098 not a 1098 R.

I figured the " R " will put out closer to 230 hp !

I'm going by the advertised 40% increase in hp.

It's actually more like 37% increase.

So the " R " is somewhere between 170 hp and 175 RWHP.

Let's say 170 X 1.37 = 232.9

That's just too much hp for the street an for an amateur road racer like me.

Yeah...best engineered Yamwasuki around...
With a face only a mother can like and spare part prices MV Augusta can dream of.
I would take a 1198S any time over that one.
If you want a German bike, get a RC8r...
Come on Austria IS southern Germany
